Altro safety flooring in Melbourne
Altro is known for slip-resistant vinyl floors and hygienic wall linings. They are chosen for rooms where water, grease or strict hygiene rules apply.

What Altro makes
Altro focuses on safety flooring. Its sheet vinyl contains grit that gives grip, and different grades suit different levels of risk.
It also makes wall sheets and trims, so a room can be finished from floor to wall with joins that are welded shut.
Where Altro suits
Pick Altro when a slip would be costly or when germs and spills must be controlled. Common spots include commercial kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, treatment rooms and plant rooms.
- Aged care bathrooms and kitchens
- Hospital and clinic wet areas
- Food preparation rooms
- Changing rooms and amenities
How Altro floors are specified and laid
The right grade depends on what lands on the floor. Water, oil and soap each call for a different level of grip, so we confirm the use before ordering.
Sheets are glued to a smooth base, seams are heat welded, and the floor is often coved up the wall to form a sealed edge. Base preparation matters, because any bump can show through.
What to ask before you choose
- What will be spilled, and how often?
- Do people walk here in bare feet?
- Which cleaning products will staff use?
- Should the wall be lined as well?

Questions
Does safety flooring have to look plain?
No. Many safety ranges now come in wood, stone and colour looks. Grip level and appearance can both be met.
Can the wall sheets be used without the floor?
Yes. They can be installed on their own, though matching the two gives a tidier, sealed room.
Is Vanishpro an Altro approved installer?
We do not claim that status. We lay Altro products and follow the maker's published instructions for each job.
